Three hours is UNACCEPTABLE.
The guy in the bathroom texted his mom for almost 40 min. They were outside just waiting. They could have saved a lot of them.
Did a delay in response give the gunman more time? Cops face questions over why it took three hours for SWAT teams to storm Orlando nightclub as police chief admits officers may have shot some of the VICTIMS
- Police Chief John Mina and officers are facing scrutiny for the response
- Took three hours for tactical units to enter after Omar Mateen opened fire
- Delay has raised questions that the gunman was given more time to shoot
- Orlando cops have already admitted they’ve learned from the attack
- SWAT set off explosives outside Pulse nightclub to blow holes in the wall

Orlando police are facing questions over why it took three hours for a SWAT team to storm the nightclub where ISIS fanatic Omar Mateen slaughtered 49 people.
As the largest mass shooting in modern U.S. history began to unfold, an off-duty police officer working at a gay nightclub exchanged gunfire with the suspect.
But authorities chose to hold off on letting the tactical units enter Pulse nightclub, where more than 100 people were shot.
Police Chief John Mina has also admitted that some of the victims may have been hit by officers’ gun fire.

Total BS. Cops don’t shoot innocent people…
Or cats or dogs or each other (not enough of that) & rarely somebody that needs to be shot.
“Hey Sarge, let’s not break the party up just yet.” “He’s not done shooting!” Survivor says, “The guilt of being alive is heavy.” Well then, do the world a favor and ease the burden of our nausea!
Horsesh!t! Since when do the pigs admit to shooting anybody?
The whole thing was fake and now they are trying anything and everything to make it all real somehow.
Their reaching. Really reaching badly.
“… they are trying anything and everything to make it all real somehow.”
BINGO!!!
Give the man a Kewpie doll!
“8:00am – Officials with the FBI deem the incident to be ‘domestic terrorism’.”
BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!
The FBI just deems any incident involving a gun to be a “domestic terrorism”. It’s hilarious. A decade ago, this would have deemed “suspect with a gun” takes people hostage after an altercation with the police. Now it’s “TERRORIST with a gun” takes people hostage and he has ties to this and that and wanted to do this and that and the fear propaganda goes non-stop day and night on CNN and FOX ad nauseum.
Unfrigginbelievable………
“The two exchange fire outside the club – but Mateen manages to enter the nightclub holding 320 people while still firing.”
320 people!!??? I thought the supposed shooter killed almost 50 and wounded another 50, thereby making it only 100 people in the club. What happened to the other 220 people, especially if they couldn’t get out of the exit doors?
And let’s just go with that “320 people” number for a second. You’re telling me that ONE person with a gun can hold 320 people hostage???!!!! And not one of those 320 people would bumrush the guy? WTF??!!!
Like I said, a decade ago, 320 people could take down one gunman easily, if that was the case. Do they want us to believe we have become a nation of fearmongering cowards?
